Where possible, we only buy hardware capable of running coreboot. Currently, we are standardizing on AMD-based systems: in terms of servers we have some Tyan systems and more recently we've purchased Silicon Mechanics A236 and A266 servers. We also have a bunch of Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 based machines, a few PC Engines ALIX boards, and a couple Asus M2A-VM boards.
